BSD/MIT are functionally equivalent to “sign away your rights.”

Accepting contributions when you do this is a bit weird. They need to sign away their rights to their code so you can sell it. This is why the “open-source” database companies (all of which dual-license) don’t accept contributions.

Cubesats can’t take very good pictures. You need a big mirror to get really clear imagery and you can’t cram one of those in a cubesat. Space telescopes are by nature massive, heavy satellites unless they aren’t intended to look very far or

In 2021, Kyle Carruth shot someone on his porch and used a castle doctrine argument in his defense, and he was not indicted. That would suggest that the porch is considered part of the habitation separate from an attempt to enter. I think t

$40/hour is not bad. Aside from the few thousand tenured orchestra/chorus musicians, none of them are going to be making 6 figures from one job, but a number of musician-musician households pull in over $100k between two incomes b

Most of the major orchestras have a union and they negotiate salaries in the $100-200k range for everyone. It’s a lot more people than you might think (70-150 people on payroll in each orchestra). There are also a lot of touring soloists in

I was surprised to see the main benefit of intrusive linking mentioned as a bit of a side note: The ability to move data around between lists (and within a list) without copying. You also get O(1) removal from the middle of the list, assumi

I think this has applied in the case of self defense in Texas, at least on someone’s porch. Curtilage is a general concept, not specific to the fourth amendment.

Are you sure that doesn't qualify on the basis that it is the curtilage of your home? Often this counts as "in your dwelling" because it's in your private space that immediately accompanies the dwelling.

This is a bit uncharitable to the concept of a centrifuge here. The Iranian nuclear program seems to have centrifuges that are a lot smaller and cheaper, and you can certainly build one that meets these needs.

I am pretty sure that's a feature, not a problem. The idea of these chips is to rush to idle on webpage-like workloads, and then otherwise use as little idle power as possible. Games and heavy work are generally not the intended worklo

They don’t need a license and you are not supposed to touch the controls, so I don’t really see how you would be responsible. Waymos do seem to break traffic laws every once in a while, and I always wonder if mine will get pulled over and w

Note that in the only reasonably-close-to-contemporary story of the run, the marathon run itself came at the end of a multi-day run from Marathon to Sparta and back, about a 300 mile round trip. The marathon run was just the last 26.2.

By volume, I would expect the majority of microcontroller silicon shipped to be these kinds of deeply embedded cores. They even show up in chips called “microcontrollers.”

Quite a lot of web rendering is done with non-integer JS Number types, aka FP64. You are right that there’s a 31-bit integer optimization, but once you have a non-integer in the mix, it’s FP64. Many GUIs some time ago would use FP32, but in

Supposedly B2B SaaS companies in YC have been known to enter into agreements to “buy” each others’ products so they can all book more users and revenue despite a single dollar not changing hands.

AI is not the only thing in the world. The rendering of this webpage involves a lot of FP64 work.

Literally every workload not named above. It’s the default for a non-integer number. * Web rendering and almost all web apps (see the JS number type) * Most things in a game not done on the GPU * Audio processing * Most GUI processing/

What? Pretty much every general-purpose calculation on your computer that isn’t an integer is done with FP64. AI may not use it and games may prefer FP32 for many things, but your CPU certainly does a ton of FP64 work.

At least one of those American citizens was the intended target of a drone strike.

I am pretty unconvinced that any of the past explosions of starship used that feature. It’s very convenient to have an “explode” button so you can say all of your rocket detonations were intentional, but they are often leaking fuel or dropp

It does still need CE certification and emissions testing. I’m guessing they didn’t do that and it will be fine because they only sold 2,500 units.

There is square footage on many NYC listings, but it’s wrong. They often have the square footage of the total area occupied by the apartment, including all the interior walls and columns that can take 20% of the area away.

It is. All over the Arab world, imagery in ads is “backwards” and I believe several companies will flip their ads horizontally, and UI localization involves flipping graphics.

I go to the conference frequently and know the organizing committee. It depends on the year (2025 and 2026 did it, but not 2024). And if someone decides to register arith20xx.org, I doubt the conference would buy it.

Starlink was an attempt to grab the rural broadband funding that supported that fiber rollout in the US. It was too slow, so the money went to fiber and traditional ISPs instead. Fiber may well have come faster without starlink.

This page reads like someone had ChatGPT write an article about the economy being K-shaped and then had ChatGPT summarize it as bullet points. Somehow that feels more offensive than just a bad article.

Yeah, that is correct. Sawmills often produce only one or two grades of wood and don’t do aggressive binning. That’s why the quality is so variable within the grade. There are also factors that affect the grade but don’t necessarily impact

The threat of breaking all encryption has been a slow-burning $1 trillion or more grift for the field over the last 20-30 years. Not that anything has materialized from it. I am somewhat convinced that PQC is primarily being rolled out so t
